Thermoplastic extrusion of bulk metallic glass

Scripta Materialia, 2009
Extrusion of Zr 44 Ti 11 Cu 10 Ni 10 Be 25 bulk metallic glass in its supercooled liquid state is explored as a method to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. The effect of processing parameters and extrusion geometries on the extrusion length is determined. The results reveal the nature of the flow process as creeping flow.

Designing Extrusion Dies for Thermoplastics

Journal of Elastomers & Plastics, 1991
An extrusion die must be able to produce, at the highest possible flow rate, a specific cross-section of an homogeneous melt that, after cooling, is well within the dimensional tolerances defined. The correct design of such a tool will have to consider the relevant physical and rheological phenomena that take place during the flow of the polymer melt ...

Study of Thermoplastic PLA Foam Extrusion

Journal of Cellular Plastics, 2008
Various PLA resins have been tried with chemical blowing agent and physical blowing agent in extrusion process to study the expansion dependency of amount of blowing agent and cell density, respectively. It has been found that a `dip' exists in both cases; foam density decreases to a minimum, then increases.

Solid‐phase backward extrusion of thermoplastics

Polymer Engineering & Science, 1982
Abstract The backward extrusion process was studied as a means of forming projections and ribs on flat sections of thermoplastic parts. The simplified, open‐die axisymmetric and plane‐strain extrusion cases were mainly considered. The results were applied to the development of a continuous solid‐phase‐forming process.

Maleated thermoplastic starch by reactive extrusion

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2008
Novel maleated thermoplastic starch (MTPS) with both improved processing and reactivity useful in the melt-blending with biodegradable polyester was prepared through in situ reactive modification of thermoplastic starch (TPS) with maleic anhydride (MA) as esterification agent. Glycerol was used as plasticizer.

Bubble Growth in Thermoplastic Foam Extrusion

Porous, Cellular and Microcellular Materials, 1998
Abstract A condensed review will be presented regarding the bubble growth study. A modified model fitting to foam extrusion system will be discussed. The improved model focuses on the influence of blowing agent on bubble growth during thermoplastic foam extrusion.

Foam Extrusion of Thermoplastic Elastomeric Alloys

Cellular Polymers, 1988
The new elastomeric alloys such as Monsanto's Santoprene thermoplastic rubber (A class of TPE) can be formed during extrusion by the use of a chemical blowing agent or by the use of a fluorocarbon blowing agent to provide products with characteristics superior to foamed vulcanised rubber.

Extrusion coating of plywood with thermoplastics

Plastics, Rubber and Composites Processing and Applications, 1998
In the present work plywood has been coated with polypropylene rather than the traditional coating material, thermoset. A modified extrusion coating process was applied with the aim of achieving adequate adhesion between the plywood and the thermoplastic.

Nucleation in Thermoplastic Foam Extrusion

Cellular and Microcellular Materials, 1994
Abstract Continuous foam nucleation experiments were performed on a twin screw extruder capable of making foam sheet. Nucleation results are compared to the Lump Cavity Model which was proposed to describe nucleation in thermoplastic foam extrusion.

Screw extrusion of thermoplastics: I. General model of the screw extrusion

Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry, 2012
New approach to a simulation of single and twin screw extruders for thermoplastics processing was suggested. The approach takes into account real boundary geometric conditions and conditions on velocity (a screw is rotated, cylinder is fixed), and also that there exist phase transformations of the processed material and its heat exchange with surfaces ...
